Trammell Crow Jr. Named in Human Trafficking Case



In federal court documents filed in California, Dallas real estate heir and investor Trammell Crow Jr. is accused by two women of financially supporting and participating in an alleged human-trafficking ring that victimized them over the course of 12 years.

It is important to recognize that, while accusations can be made, nothing is proven until the legal process has concluded. Wealthy individuals and celebrities are often targeted by lawsuits to garner publicity. Whether Crow was involved or not has yet to be established.

Last November, Julia Hubbard and Kayla Goedinghaus filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against dozens of individuals and businesses, including Crow and even a Texas Ranger sergeant named Cody Mitchell.

In their sworn complaint, Hubbard and Goedinghaus assert that a man named Richard Hubbard ran a human-trafficking operation allegedly “with the essential financial assistance and influence” of billionaire Crow.

I thought Harlan Crow's brother is a race-car driver? Something about it in Wikipedia.

who built terrible buildings. His all glass building in Houston blew out in a hurricane...that's how forethoughted he was.

I didn't know they were Nazis, but it certainly seems right. Dallas is a hotbed of racism.

So I guessed that it probably came from a past surname in the family and looked up "Trammel" as surname.

In England, it apparently has Anglo-Saxon origins because it has a counter part in Germany, slightly different spelling, which means "crude, boor."

In common English usage, trammel means to deprive someone of freedom. Also, it is a netting system that traps fish.

So it appears that the family name is appropriate.
